Marvin Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Who are they. I saw one of their heads listed on G4M's website. It seemed very cheap for what it was preporting to be. Go on to their website and all you seem to derive is a PO Box in the BVI's. Does anyone own something made by them or have used any of their equipment?

BassBunny Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Part of Behringer, hence the prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mog Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 They're hit and miss apparently. I've come across a few of their guitar heads and have been impressed. The link to Behringer usually leads to a shitstorm however so grab your umbrella! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) I was looking at this a while back. [url="http://www.bugera-amps.com/en/products/bvp5500.aspx"]http://www.bugera-am...ts/bvp5500.aspx[/url] Claims to be a 500W valve amplifier, but I get the feeling it's a valve pre with a SS power amp. Also, the 500W (at 4ohms) is peak power, not RMS. I hummed and haa'd a bit and decided against it. Would be good for £295 - if I felt I could have trusted it. Having said that I do think Behringer get a bit of an unfair rep. The main reason you read so many negatives online about them is because they sell more gear than every other manufacturer put together. So statistically you're going to read more about their kit than anyone else's. In my humble opinion and YMMV, of course.

Marvin Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 That's the amp I saw on G4M. Apparently it'll take until 1st Oct to get to any customer... Perhaps they ship them over by rowing boat from the BVI's? And yes, Behringer is ok. I've owned some and it's always been fine. To be honest read the problems people have with gear and every brand is hit and miss if you ask me...which you didn't so then it becomes MHO etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Bugera is their higher end stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 As above they're basically posh Behringer amps. I've not heard their bass stuff, but I did hear one of their guitar amps through a Peavey cabinet and it sounded absolutely wonderful!

Mr. Foxen Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have been curious about them, and waiting for a broken one to come in for repair or come up on ebay. This hasn't happened. Which says something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbanKarma Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm sorry I just couldn't have anything labelled Bugera behind me on stage no matter how its spelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yeah, awesome amps should be up front as they are the stars of the show. You can go look at scruffy blokes anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
